FEHD orders fresh provision shop in Kwai Chung to suspend business for 21 days
******************************************************************************
     The Director of Food and Environmental Hygiene has ordered a fresh provision shop in Kwai Chung to suspend business for 21 days, as the operator repeatedly breached the Food Business Regulation (FBR) by extending the business area illegally, and making unauthorised alterations to matters specified in the approved plan.
 
     The shop, located at Shop 6A on the ground floor of King Po Mansion, 186 Hing Fong Road, Kwai Chung, was ordered to suspend business from today (August 25) to September 14.
 
     "Four convictions for the above-mentioned breaches were recorded against the shop in March this year. A total fine of $8,300 was levied by the court and 45 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in a seven-day and a 14-day licence suspension running consecutively," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
 
     The spokesman reminded the licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR and other relevant regulations, or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
 
     Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign, at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises has been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/index.html).
